Do You Brush Your Teeth Correctly?

Most People Don't Read And See

(Following is the second arti-
cle published by The Star in co-
operation with the Northwest
Florida Dental Society as a pub-
lic service.)
If you were cleaning the teeth f
a comb, you wouldn't brush across
those teeth. You would brush up
from the bottoms of the teeth.
In the same way, the spaces be-
tween your teeth must. be cleaned
by brushing downward from the
top gums and. upward from the
bottom.
A bit of pressure is needed so
that the bristles slide off the prom-
inent surfaces of the teeth and
into the spaces between tli.le. A
slight wriggling or vibrating mo-
tion make the toothbrush bristles
act like toothpicks that dislodge
little particles of food before they.
can be turned into acid which at-
tack the tooth structures.
While this is the best way to
brush teeth: as a rule, there are
also different methods that den-
tists advise-at times, to meet cer-
tain conditions.
Properly used, the rrislled tI..tlI
brush is the most effective insrru.-,
ment yet devised for cleaning the
mouth and combatting tooth de-
cay.
It is also a good way to insure
healthy gums.
The tragedy of the toothbrush, is
that so few Americans use it often
enough. The teeth should be brush-
ed or cleansed with water after
each meal or snack of any kind.
Few people brush .any tooth sur-
faces except those next to the lips
and cheeks. The grinding surfaces
get a few sweeps and the tongue-
side surfaces of the teeth are bare-
ly touched.
Dental authorities agree that if
children, were trained to use the
toothbrush when the first teeth are
in, it would prevent a great many
cavities, even in the "baby" teeth
and save much pain, loss of teeth
and expense.
They point out that parents
should set an example by regular
toothbrushing after eating at' any
time. The tidy housewife spends
much more time in carefully wash-
ing 32 dishes, one by one, that she
does in brushing her 32 teeth.
When washing dishes, she sets no
definite time but keeps at them un-
til she knows they are clean. The
32 teeth are much harder to clean
than the same number of dishes.
Dental authorities say that every

HAVE YOU RE-REGISTERED?
As,you probably know, this is a very timely
question! You and the rest of the citizens of
Gulf County who wish to vote in the coming
elections have only eleven more days in which
to qualify. This doesn't just mean new residents
to the county or those who ,are just becoming
eligible to vote. This means everyone in the
county. Yes EVERYONE! It is imperative
for.everyone in the county to re-register. This
is imperative because the county is setting up a
new registration system and a revised voting list.
If you do not re-register before january 31 you
cannot vote in the coming elections no matter
-how long, you have lived in the county or nro
matter how long you have been registered in
.the county.
Only a handful of Port St. Joe future voters
have re-registered, at the time of this writing;
approximately twenty per cent.to be exact.
We wonder' if the people of Port St. Joe
and Gulf County realize they iill lose their bal-
lot rights unless they re-register?
It is vitally' important that you attend to
this matter immediately. It is doubly impor-
tant that you re-register since there are some
important elections coming up this year. One,
and probably the,most important is the election
of a governor to fill the unexpired term of late
governor Dan McCarty. In the county, the
importance to you in the coming elections is just
ps great as the gubernatorial election is to the
-state. This year we must select two new coun-
ty commissioners. If you are not satisfied with
the way thecounty is being run, be sure to re-
register so' that you may help see that your will
if carried out. Another important election com-
ing up is the selection of a Representative to
the State Legislature.
Would you deem these elections important

enough to take the time to go and re-register?
If you live South of Fifth Street, you go to
Wall Electric Company and register with Mrs.
Charles Wall. If you live to the north of Fifth
Street you must re-register with Mrs. Ed Prid-
geon.

the little flat-footed country girl
you passed on the street without a

second look. You swallow your
Adam's Apple, and start angling
around for an introduction.
Well. brother, that's the story of
the 1954 Florida State Fair. It is
a brand new show, a different show
and presents so many innovations,
so many changes and so many new
features you just wo't recognize it.
'Changes, new and startling, have
occurred in almost every depart-
ment. Remarkable improvement
will be evident in the commercial
and agricultural exhibits. The
brand new "New Worlds .in Mo-
tion Show" presented by the
Chrysler-Plymouth people and oc-
cupying one of the largest build-

ings0 on the grounds is both enter-
taining and educational. You
shouldn't miss it.
Improvement is evidenced in ev-
ery department. The old, run-of-
the-mill type of exhibits have been
discarded to make way for new
modern displays and presentations
that will put the 1954 Florida State
Fair in a class by itself. It really

is new and different-and I almost
said "Bigger and Better."
Maybe you have seen the Electri-
cal Exposition sponsored by the
Tampa Electric Company that aas
been a feature of the fair for the
last few years. You will find the
1954 version much different. Ad-
vances in electrical science have
been so rapid that most of the pre-
sentations this year will be so ad-
vanced and changed you Will find
it an entirely new show.
'The same holds true for cattle,
poultry, women's work, art, flow-
ers, commercial, industrial and ag-
ricultural displays. Arrangements
have been modernized and improv-
ed. Booths have been remodeled
and revamped. The old run-of-the-
mill type of exhibit has given way
to new treatments that are more
impressive and more pleasing.
Remember the dates of the 1954
Florida State Fair-Feb.. 2 to 13.
There won't be a dull moment with
gay and wonderful parades, cham-
pionship automobile racing, thrill
shows and the greatest hippodrome
presentation ever offered. The fam-
ed Gasparilla-parade and ceremony
as well as the Children's Gasparilla
parade will be for superior to any-
thing previously presented. Plan
now to attend the 1954 Florida
State Fair in Tampa.

IBIG ISURPRISE-Biggest sur-
prise this season from the Florida
delegation was Congressman Bill
Lantaff's announcement that he
would not run for' reelection in
1954. Lantaff gave the high expense
of being a congressman as the rea-
son he retired. Each year, he said,
he was running several thousand
dollars behind-and was rapidly
using up all of his savings. This
decision of course throws the Mi-
ami race wide open :Already set

Congressman Dwight Rogers had
announced for reelection. Up to

Act hearings in Havana. While
there, the committee will tour the
star cane* fields and hear argu-
ments for continuing the present
sugar quota treaty with Florida's
nearby Latin-American neighbor.
THE GREEK WAY-A visitor to
Congressman Courtney Campbell
this week was Dr. John George
Zighdis, Representative of the Is-
land of Rhodes in the Greek Par-
liament. Zighdis was greatly im-
pressed by Campbell's office facili-
ties. His job in Greece is full-time,
he is paid only $170 a month, with
no office or staff furnished. While
visiting the U. S. he will stop off
in Tarpon Springs, where several
of his former Greek constituents
are now American citizens and vote
in Campbell's district.

Now Is Social

Security Time

As, any farmer knows, there are
a lot of "times'' during the year.
Cold weather, like this, is good
hog-killing time. Some folks say
it's not collard time until the frost
has been around. And spring is
planting time.
Another "time" that comes in
every season is Social Security
Time.T That's when farmers must
report earnings of their farm
workers for Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance benefits. This time comes
at the end of every calendar quar-
ter. The next report for the Octo-
beriDecember period'is due' in the
ffibe' o'f the- District -Director of
Internal Revenue by the end of
JanUary. The report of earnings
must be filed on each regular em-'
ployee.
The law was changed in 1950 to
allow farm workers to build up
retirement benefits for themselves
andi their families and death bene-
fits for the families just as other
workers do.
Farm workers have been enjoy-
ing such "citified" advantages as
electric light, oil heat, running wa-
ter and such for a long time. Now
they have every benefit their city
cousins do-even an insurance plan.
For more information about the
farm worker's stake in Social Se-
curity, contact your Social Security
office located at 109 West Burde-
shaw St., Dothan, Ala.
Questions on reporting farm
workers income and payment f
taxes should be addressed to R. W.
Beck, Distriet Director of Internal
Revenue, 301 S. Oates St., Dothan,
Ala.
Our representative will be at the
Port St. Joe City Hall on the sec-
ond Tuesday of each month, at
:3 a.m.

"Florida needs a year 'round pay-
roll, and the only way it can be
done is through industry," Brailey
Odham, candidate for governor,
has been stating during his cur-
rent campaign tour of the state.
"The tourist business is fine, and
we must do all we can to encour-
age it, but the increase of industry
will build up Florida's economy to
such an extent that we will not
have to depend entirely upon the
lush tourist months," Odham con-
tinued.
"The only way it can be done is
through cooperative effort, with
everybody pulling together. As gov-
ernor, I will do everything within
my power to attract industry to
the state," Odham pointed out.
In addition to serving as chair-
man of the industrial board in the
eity of Sanford, Odham was instru-
mental in providing the first adult
;vocational training courses in his
- home section of the state.
'.'A whole area..feels, the effect of

creased sales, bank deposits go up;
and. .most important of' all, our

'Governmental and civic organi-
,zations shouldd coordinate their: ef-

Odham suggested.
